Beechcraft King Air 260 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

By category, the Beechcraft King Air 260 and 360ER are twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft, with the 360ER emphasizing extended‑range/special‑mission capability. The Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer single‑engine turboprop positioned for business travel. The Cessna Citation CJ3+ is the only light jet here, optimized for faster point‑to‑point corporate trips. The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged single‑turboprop utility/STOL aircraft aimed at short/rough‑field work. The Daher TBM 960, Pilatus PC‑12 NGX, and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized single‑engine turboprops focused on owner‑pilot and business use, with the PC‑12 leaning most toward executive/utility flexibility. On range, the CJ3+ generally leads among these for cruise speed and strong cross‑country legs; the King Air 360ER is the standout for endurance/loiter and longer turboprop missions; TBM 960, PC‑12 NGX, and Denali are all long‑range singles suited to regional and many transcontinental missions; the King Air 260 is typically shorter than the 360ER; the M600 is more mid‑range; and the Kodiak is usually the shortest, trading range for field performance. For passengers, King Airs and PC‑12 commonly seat the most in typical configurations (often 6–9), CJ3+ is usually around 6–9, Denali/TBM/M600 are commonly 4–6, and Kodiak can carry more in utility layouts (up to around 10) but with shorter legs.
